Name That Newborn...

babyDavid Thompson and Hannah Sullivan are expecting their first child any minute now. Heck, he may already be born and we just haven't gotten the news yet.

He?

Yup. The couple is expecting a boy. They may not have wanted to know the baby's gender but the ultrasound guy probably spilled the beans, i.e. the frank and beans, when he wanded over the fetus' junk, thereby televising that unmistakeable feature for the parents to see whether they wanted to or not.

Trinona's Together Do-Do...

swimRace Preview - Dave Schutz totally has his race directing do-do together. His TRINONA, the fourth edition of which is on Sunday, has won the Race of the Year award twice and finished 2nd in the polling on the other occasion. How impressive is that! This kinda stuff couldn't happen with un-together do-do.

Trinona is simply a magnificent event. Magnificently staged, scenic and challenging courses and amenities up the wahzoo. And it has pulled pork sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies as big as your head. And Amanda, Dave's spousal unit, sings the National Anthem, better than anyone.

Bennett, Scotty & Christina....

christinaED. Liberty will be contested at Lake Rebecca in Rockford, not Lake Independence. It's a construction deal.

(Photo - One of these girls is Christina Roberts, who hopes to repeat as Liberty Olympic champion next Saturday. She just might do that. The other girl is probably one of Christina's friends.)

Race Preview - Yesterday we wrote about the epic battle that should unfold between Michelle Andres and Kortney Haag at this weekend's Liberty Half. Today we'll preview the dude's half and the Olympic race.

The usual elite suspects will not be on hand this year. We're talking about past LH champions, Dan Arlandson, Josh Riff, Devon Palmer, Jon Balabuck, you know, the sub-4:15-on-this-tough-course guys. But there is a guy who....
